........However, according to Hindu way of life the ultimate aim of life is to attain Moksha, Mukti or salvation. Moksha is a state where the soul of a man gets unified or merged with the Bruhm. It combines with Bruhm to never to return to cycle of life and death. It is released from Karmik life cycle.
It is claimed that the soul is subtle in nature therefore the modern science is not able to find its existence. However, it is not known that what the subtlety means in this context.
The soul is indestructible in nature. The indestructibility of soul is axiomatic in nature. So far nobody has explained that why it is indestructible. It cannot be born. It cannot die. It cannot be burnt. It cannot be cut. On death it leaves one body and acquires a new body. The soul cannot be disintegrated further. The fire cannot burn it. The sword cannot cut it. It is never born because it never dies. It is neither organic and nor inorganic because in both the cases it would be destructible. It is always preexisting to a body and also postexisting. It has a separate existence than a body. The real thing is soul and not body because body is temporary in nature. It exists as long as soul exists in it. The moment, a soul lives the body, it is dead. The body is only a temporary abode for the soul. However, it is not known that why should the heart stop beating when the soul leaves the body. A soul may change an infinite number of bodies during Karmic cycle on its way to merger with Bruhm. The soul cannot be divided because in such case it has to be degraded to biological level. Only higher level things are considered here; not biological or materialstical. It is Hindu spiritual world. However, the soul can be hurt as is clear from the statement “I am hurt”. It can die also as is clear from the statement “I am dying”. It can be hungry also as is clear from the statement “I am hungry”. And so on. In short it can have all the biological properties as “I” can feel or desire or complain about etc. The description of soul in Gita seems to be a bundle of contradictory wrongs. For the soul to be indestructible; it necessary to show that “I” in “Who am I?” is different than “I” in “I am dying”. However, a soul being a higher level entity cannot have lower level biological functions and processes allotted to it. It is getting convoluted; the logic may stand on its head but the spiritualists are not bothered about it; you see these are higher level things and normal logic cannot be applied to it. It is convoluted means it is convoluted. Nobody should expect to find an iota of logic in Hindu spiritual logic. It is a logicless spirituality. The existence of a soul and Bruhm can only be realized or felt through higher level unknown faculties of higher level people not amenable to the laws of science. Of course if somebody is under peer pressure or social pressure then one can just nod, nod and nod - and long live the non-understandable and unidentifiable Bruhm......
